How would it change if it wasn’t democratic?

“Imagine if any one of the dictators of World War II had succeeded,” Alexandria asked, “what kind of world would we live in now?”

In this new collection of short stories Security Directorate Dossiers volume 1 (BlueMere Books, 2023), Alexandria Blaelock speculates about just that.

In this collection of original stories, five people fight for their very existance.

In a ruthless fascist dictatorship, the Director General commands all.

Controlled and Indoctrinated from birth, strengthened by an all-encompassing eugenics programme, and challenged by rigorous genetic, physical and mental tests, the Security Directorate’s elite enforcement arm unwaveringly supports the regime.

These are five of their stories.

• Life in the Security Directorate – Eve struggles to come to terms with life in the Directorate and finds her own way out.
• Love in the Security Directorate – while the Directorate might control who you marry, they can’t always control who you fall in love with.
• Success at the Academy – Lieutenant Jemima Hunt discovers in the power over life or death is not always clear cut.
• Payton’s Run – Can Payton survive her live fire physical assessment?
• Minty and the Monster – Second Lieutenant Minty Hollister takes up her first post at Cabaret Cave.

These stories will challenge your sense of a good life.
